Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs boneless lamb shoulder, fat trimmed and meat cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 medium parsnips, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (12) oz bottle Guinness beer
  • 1 lb baby potatoes
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Bread for serving

Instructions

  • Pat lamb shoulder chunks dry and season well with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or medium pot over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot add lamb and sear on all sides until golden-brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add onion, carrots, and parsnips to pan drippings and saute over medium-high heat 3-5 minutes until onion is translucent. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour Guinness into pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer 3-5 minutes until Guinness is reduced a bit.
  • Add lamb, baby potatoes, beef broth, cornstarch-water mixture, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf to pot and stir until evenly combined. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot, and allow to simmer 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally until lamb and vegetables are fork-tender.
  • Remove thyme sprigs and bay leaf and discard. Season stew with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
